MAPC MINUTES
JUNE 9, 1988
body
The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission met Thursday, June 9, 1988 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 314 W. Washington. The requests considered are as follows:
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mr. McCracken, Mr. Vance, Mr. Lusby, Mr. Lamberth, Mr. Blalock
MEMBERS ABSENT: Mr. Sloan, Mr. Smock, Mr. Harris, Mr. McDonald
Preceding consideration of items on the agenda was discussion by the members of the Commission about changing the meeting date for the MAPC. As of now it was explained that meeting on the second Thursday of the month causes items requiring City Council action to be delayed an average of 17.5 days. Changing from the second Thursday to the second Tuesday of the month would reduce this average to 7.2 days before reaching the City Council. If the meeting date were to be scheduled on the first Thursday it would be only slightly better with approximately 14 days between MAPC and the Council and could also be a problem with deadlines for plans to be submitted. A rezoning could conceivably take three months for approval or denial with the meeting date of the second Thursday. A request will be made to the City Attorney for him to check the ordinances to see if they set a specific meeting date and if so what would have to be done to change the date.
Mr. Vance made a motion on behalf of the Commission that it is their intent to change the MAPC meeting date from the second Tuesday beginning in August provided there are no conflicts with the ordinances that would require action by the City Council. Mr. Lusby seconded the motion. All members present voting aye. MOTION APPROVED.
#1 Mr. Lamberth made a motion to approve a rezoning request from Ag-1 to I-1 for Mr. & Mrs. Raymond Palmer subject to their being no conflict with City Ordinances related to the flood way and flood plain. The property is located north of Hwy. 18 and west of Commerce Drive. Mr. Vance seconded the motion. All members present voting aye. MOTION APPROVED.
